Chapter 12: The Opening Day
"I don't feel anything, I'm still the same me!Hehe, maybe I'm a little anxious, since the predecessors can create this elixir, there will naturally be his brilliance, but now it is not reflected. Forget it, it's your own appearance, and you're a little more demanding, so let's go to dinner first. Putting aside the doubts in his mind, Mu Yi stepped out.
On the eighth day of October in 10855, it was sunny.
Today is a good day, and today is another special day. Because it is not only the opening day of the Blue Dragon Gang's competition every ten years, but also the anniversary of the founding of the open source county. As soon as the morning dawned, the people in the county town walked out of their homes one after another and walked towards the lord's mansion in the county town.
The castle lord's mansion is located in the center of the county seat a little south. From a distance, it is a quaint and atmospheric building, and when you look closely, it stands majestically like a lion. On both sides of the entrance of the house, there is a huge stone statue, one on the left is a Pixiu, one on the right is a fox, and in front of the statue, there is a pair of soldiers in maintaining order.
Walking in from the palace gate, there is a long passage, passing through the two buildings, and coming to a wide martial arts arena. The martial arts arena is rectangular, surrounded by stands, covering an area of about 300 zhang, and six martial arts platforms are built in the middle. The platform is one foot high, and is surrounded by a wooden fence to form a circle, preventing the audience from entering and disturbing or being disturbed.
Directly opposite the passage, there is a tall main stand, and those who can sit in the main stand to watch are all figures with heads and faces, and each of them should not be underestimated. Under the main stand, there is a temporary phalanx, which can accommodate about 200 people, and is for the participating disciples to rest and wait. The phalanx on the left side of the stands is the senior generals and officials at all levels of the City Lord's Mansion, and the phalanx on the right side of the stands is the court protector and the leaders of the halls of the Qinglong Gang.
At three o'clock, in the roar of firecrackers and salutes, the martial arts competition kicked off.
First of all, the spokesperson of the Lord's Mansion gave a speech, celebrating how the county town was built, what difficulties it encountered, how many anniversaries it had passed, what its commemorative significance, and so on, and so on, and ended with a long talk.
Secondly, the spokesperson of the Qinglong Gang gave a speech, focusing on the great value of the competition, why the disciples worked hard, how the whole gang should be united sincerely, and then a series of rules and precautions for the game.
Finally, the City Lord's Mansion Lord and the Green Dragon Gang Leader jointly announced that the martial arts competition had officially begun.
This time, because of the leakage of news, the number of contestants eventually increased. The inner hall and outer hall of the general rudder, plus the seven major rudder and two families, the number of participating disciples reached eighty, plus ten people recommended by the City Lord's Mansion, and six people recommended by some famous masters, for a total of ninety-six participants.
At the beginning of the lottery, ninety-six people came to a mahogany box one by one, and each took out a bamboo stick, which was also printed with a number. The mahogany box is closed, leaving a square hole in it, just enough to put your hand in, and you don't have a chance to cheat. And the people are next to each other, so you don't have a little time to think about it.
"Fourth, what number are you drawing, let my brother see, have we met together?" Zhang Chenggui finished drawing lots, asked Mu Yi in a low voice, and then said: "Mine is the number nine!"
Mu Yi looked at the sign in his hand, and said casually: "No. 47, it seems that the game in the morning, there is nothing to do with me, I can watch the game with peace of mind!" After speaking, he stretched out his hands and shook his arms and smiled, the meaning was very obvious, no way, you are better than yours, I will look at the excitement.
"That's good, you can help the eldest brother, and watch me shine!" Zhang Chenggui said happily.
"Come on, don't blow yourself into the sky, let's help the second brother, I must sweep the opponent, I am the only one!" Wang Lung came over at this time, and he was not afraid of causing trouble.
"Okay, okay! If the three brothers take the top three, then I will be wronged and willing to be the fourth!" Mu Yi also rarely joked with them, and even said jokingly.
"Huh!" "Huh!" "Huh!" ......
Several players around the four of them snorted coldly at the same time, and the meaning of the smile is self-evident, you are too daring to say big things, and you still know who you are, the top four have been taken by you, and we are still fighting for a fart!
At this time, on the top of the six competition platforms, there was already a referee on each of them. They stood in the center of the competition platform, all of them were straight, majestic, and majestic, these people were basically famous martial arts celebrities, and among the contestants below, there were also a few people who were recommended by them.
At this time, as the host of the martial arts competition, he had already begun to call out the number: "The participating disciples who have drawn numbers one to twelve will immediately go to their respective competition platforms and prepare to compete on stage, and the rest of the disciples can go to watch the competition or wait in place." ”
"Big brother, hurry up, you are the only one to participate in the first round of the competition, our brother is here to cheer you on, how good you are!" Wang Hu said to Zhang Chenggui with a grin, and pushed him towards the fifth stage.
"Look at it, brothers, look at the big brother's good start!" Zhang Chenggui roared confidently.
Mu Yi didn't go to the No. 5 martial arts platform right away, but came to the No. 1 platform, and he wanted to get to know the rest of the disciples. His three elder brothers, that is, from the beginning of the acquaintance, lived together and practiced martial arts together, but he didn't know about outsiders, he wanted to take this opportunity to take a look one by one, although the competition stipulates that people must not be deliberately injured, but also to make a general plan, don't overturn the boat in the gutter, the joke will be big!
The two disciples who participated in the No. 1 platform, one was a disciple of the Outer Hall of the Chief Helm, and the other was a disciple of the Matsuyama Branch, and the weapons of both of them were long swords. After a few glances, Mu Yi was bored, and felt that there was no need to look at them anymore, and it was very appropriate to describe them with flower fists and embroidered legs.
Turning around, slowly pacing to the second platform, Mu Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, one of the disciples on the stage was Chen Donglin, and the other was a disciple of the Minye rudder. Chen Donglin's age seems to be younger than himself, but his basic skills are extremely solid, and his posture is flexible and changeable, and he has a lot of style.
"Good skills! This one, the disciples of the Chen family will win!" Having already judged the result and seeing Chen Donglin's martial arts routines, Mu Yi quickly came to the No. 5 platform and found the Wang brothers.
The two on the stage are fighting at this time, and you come and go with each other. Zhang Chenggui's opponent is an inner disciple, who is the same age as him, and has always been fighting on the periphery, and it seems that he has learned to swim in the palm of his body. Zhang Chenggui practiced horizontal kung fu, he didn't defend at all, he was completely open and closed, and a set of Xingyi boxing was swept so that the opponent did not dare to get close. The tiger pounced, the lion roared, the bear sitting, the orangutan smashed, and the mouth roared again and again.
Half an hour later, Zhang Chenggui finally forced his opponent to admit defeat in a corner.
"Hahaha!" he laughed and got off the competition platform, came to the three of them, and didn't forget to say a few words to himself: "What's the matter? I'm still the boss, I'm amazing, I'm going to be caught as soon as I get out of the horse, you boys have to fight for it, don't embarrass me?"
"Cut!" all three grinned at the same time and raised their middle fingers.
Next, the second group, the Wang brothers competed at the same time, Wang Long No. 23 was on the No. 6 competition platform, Wang Hu was on the No. 2 competition platform, after the host called the number, the participating disciples also took the stage, and the stage referees on the competition platform told the rules again and announced the start of the game.
Because the Wang brothers competed at the same time, Mu Yi and Zhang Chenggui were also divided into two places to help. Zhang Chenggui watched Wang Hu's game under the No. 2 stage, and Mu Yi came to the No. 6 platform to help Wang Long wave the flag and shout.
Wang Lung's opponent, looking at the costume, was a disciple of the inner hall, of a similar age, slightly taller than him, and the two stood face to face, clasping their fists and saluting each other.
"Inner hall disciple Li Yifeng. ”
"Old City Helm Disciple Wang Long. ”
"Please!" "Please!" the two said in unison, and the game began.
Li Yifeng uses a simple knife, with a steady pace and a fierce knife style.
Wang Lung is good at splitting the water and stabbing the water, his body is weird, and his moves are strange.
Li Yifeng launched the offensive first, clenched the hilt of the knife with both hands and raised it high, and slashed Huashan with one move, and attacked it with great force.
Wang Lung didn't dare to make a hard connection, his footsteps flashed, and he went around behind Li Yifeng, explored the sea with a yaksha, and stabbed Li Yifeng's waist with a water thorn.
Li Yifeng was not in a hurry, he changed the back of his right foot to hold the knife in one hand, and swept towards Wang Long with a beautiful whirlwind slash...... The two soon fought together, and you came and went, each with their own tricks.
The audience below applauded from time to time, and Mu Yi also watched it very seriously, although he didn't pay much attention to the moves, but he could also increase his experience, which was exactly what he needed.
The battle ended after half an hour, and Wang Lung exchanged his injuries for injuries, defeated Li Yifeng, and won the game, at the cost of not being able to participate in the rest of the game.
"Second brother, it's not worth it!" Mu Yi stepped forward to support Wang Lung and quickly stuffed a healing pill into his mouth.
"It's nothing, brother, I'm fighting hard!" swallowed the pill and turned his head to Li Yifeng and said, "Brother, it's good! The green mountains don't change, the green water flows forever, we will have a period later!" After speaking, with Mu Yi's support, he headed towards the No. 2 martial arts platform.
came to the second stage to find Zhang Chenggui, looked up at the competition platform, and the battle here was nearing the end.
Wang Hu's opponent was already out of breath and only knew how to dodge, but Wang Hu became more and more courageous, and victory was just around the corner.
"I throw in the towel!"
